Dear John
Official Information Act 1982 (“OIA”) request dated 18 March 2020 (ref OIA19200693)
The Department is extending the deadline for responding to the above OIA request by 25
working days to 25 May 2020 under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA.
This extension is necessary because the consultations that are necessary to make a decision on
the request are such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within
the original time limit.
If you are dissatisfied with the Department’s decision on your request for information, you have
the right, under section 28 of the OIA, to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman.
The Office of the Ombudsman can be contacted by phone on 0800 802 602, via post at PO Box
10152 Wellington, or via email to
[email address].
Yours sincerely
